If I have a listing of packages,

XML-Parser-2.34.tbz2
bin86-0.16.17.tbz2
libxml2-2.6.26.tbz2 system-tools-backends-1.4.2.tbz2
I want to cut the version number from the listing, leaving only bin86, libxml2, etc.
I think that cutting a "-" followed by a {0-9} achieve this ??? but cut only allows for a single delimiter.
How to achieve this ?
This deletes from the last '-' until the end of the line:
sed 's/-[^-]*$//' file
